hey I have a MacBook that i got for my birthday May 07, and recently I tried installing Spore, and it wont let me. it says my graphics card is outdated, even tho the game doesn't look like it takes much, and my computer isn't old... is there any hope for me to play it?:cry:

Just play Civ 4. You'll thank yourself. :P

Really, maybe you just need to update your drivers, but it's a laptop, so the onboard graphics are probably pretty low end.

If you got the macbook beginning of 2007, chances are it's still equipped with an Intel GMA950 and Spore requires at least a GMA 3100 to run on mac.

unless you buy a "gaming laptop" (i.e. not a mac book) you will have to stick to older games. i recommend medieval total war (the original not 2) and possibly rome total war (you will have to check the requirements)

Hope for Spore? Yes, as a coaster to keep your desk protected against cold drink condensation. It is the most satisfaction you can get from that game.

You bought a Mac... sorry bud.
